Psychic
>What kind of Gym Trainers will be in your gym?
Tamers from Gen 1 (definitely with Lollipop) and Harlequins. Psychics are really cool in their own right and they make sense. I'll throw in a rogue Janitor to clean up.
>most gym leaders have a hobby other than battling, what is yours?
He's a magician and a circus performer who does acrobatics using his Psychic Pokemon to move around in the air more than humans can on their own. His face is always hidden by a harlequin mask with a purple pattern to represent Psychic types. A few hints are dropped but it's up to the player what exactly he looks like.
>what kind of gimmick will your gym have?
Balance puzzles using gyro controls. Maybe a tightrope or balancing on a ball, with some obstacles.

Vitreccio. He's an Italian guy.
